Château Gloria 1996 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend that showcases the unique terroir of Saint-Julien. On the nose, it offers aromas of black currants, cherries and plums, accompanied by distinct notes of cedar, leather and a touch of spice. These scents reflect the vintage`s character. On the palate, Gloria 1996 presents structured tannins and a firm acidity that defines its profile. The fruit is supported by undertones of dark chocolate and toasted oak, contributing to its complexity. Established in 1942, Château Gloria is well-regarded for producing wines that reflect their region`s distinct qualities.
